I did find a caregiver. But, I thought the site was difficult to navigate. Using the site for the first time was very challenging. I also think it is quite expensive although I didn't know how to find a caregiver any other way besides going through a company and that way you don't always get quality people. So maybe paying a bit more will be worth it in the end. I am hopeful.
I sent a request for pet sitting, however the provider could not accommodate the request, care.com still charged me. There is no phone number and they make it difficult to connect to discuss issues, you email and wait for a response. Horrible customer care
Quality people on this site to hire. It was easy and convenient to find a good person
So far so good. She is very cooperative and helpful. Very attentive to my needs and wants.

I have talk talk to her. I need a phone number. To get more information
So far no experience yet.
To promote safe hiring, we encourage our members to communicate onsite as much as possible, and we keep contact information private in the initial messaging. When you're ready for a phone or video interview, simply ask the caregiver to resend their information, and it will be visible at that point. If you would like assistance with this or anything else, please just reach out to us via our Help Center link at https://help.care.com/s/contactus or Facebook Messenger.

I don't love Care.com. First of all, it's a large expense just to be a member to receive services from others. The cost of one month membership is a whole third of what I'm going to pay for a provider! Plus, I used to offer my services on Care.com, and it won't let me use that same account or email to now be seeking services, so I had to sign up separately with a different email address. Finally, I have posted two jobs so far, and the experience of the questions asked by the platform and how to reach out to providers has not been consistent. It is really confusing. Editing a job is also not smooth — in the app, it's very try glitchy, and also I can't change the method of payment for pet-sitting jobs. So now I am going to pay in cash even though I had been hoping to pay through the app so I could get a receipt. And I don't want to sign up for the premium payment options because a) it costs an additional membership fee, and b) I won't be using services enough for it to make sense.
I did find a lovely provider, though. That's the only positive here.
Not great. The only positive is that I did find a provider, but I will not use this platform again.

Sonia had a very calm presence and jumped right in to help with bedtime. She was able to get our 6 month old right to sleep. I would definitely hire Sonia again!
We love hearing this, thanks for sharing!
Excellent service. On time. Good driver. Courteous. Intelligent problem-solver.

Found the app to be easy to use but the communication of the contractors was lacking. Quality of cleaning I received did not meet my expectations and had to re clean by myself. Would not use again

No one has returned to let me know if they want to clean for me. Unhappy
Thank you for your feedback. I'm so sorry to hear you aren't receiving responses! I would like to suggest posting a job, if you haven't already. Many of our members find greater success when they post a job outlining their needs versus just individually reaching out to caregivers they find through searches.

Our sitter was loving and went above and beyond to make Jasmine happy and comfortable while we were away. She kept me informed and provided updates on her care that made our time away carefree.
We will schedule our caregiver for Jasmine as early as possible to time to insure she is available.

Erin stayed overnights at our house to pet sit for our large dog and our two medicated cats. She was very responsive to our texts and loving with the boys. We also came back to a very neat and tidy home. Will definitely be continuing to book with Erin next time we go out of town.

I'll start with the positive - I've found good people to help with our babysitting/nanny needs. But the site and app are the worst user experience. The app is so slow. Messages are glitchy. I do not recommend care.com

This is a great service. We were able to locate a sitter immediately. When that sitter had to cancel last minute due to extenuating circumstances, we were able to find someone else in a very short time. The sitter we ended up with was wonderful, flexible and provided good service.

Dogs accepted her into their pack immediately and I believe they can see things in people that other people can't. When I knew they trusted her I know I did too. Truly a good person.
